Writer Katherine Dee should consider that her brain has been thoroughly cooked beyond recognition or redemption. Completely unable to return to a functional state. A mind completely wasted from lack of proper cultivation, now waiting only to decay further into nothingness. Oh well! Have a good one!

Cool, sounds like a really strong argument

Those companies have been universally torching public trust though. People increasingly understand that what we're being served is bullshit. Just because their message is the loudest doesn't mean it's the most convincing. It's not.

An anti-ICE Puerto Rican is headlining the Super Bowl and the Republicans' golden calf just stated on the record that he's not getting into heaven, but Colin Kaepernick hasn't been in the NFL for almost a decade so I guess he's got a point

Eric Trump: "We're saving Christianity. We've saving God. We've saving the family unit. We're saving this nation. I mean, DEI is out of the window, Benny. You no longer have Colin Kaepernick kneeling for the national anthem. You no longer have Budweiser going woke as hell. All of this is dead."

Absolutely everyone at these protests has a camera in their pocket. Millions of hours of footage of massive peaceful protest is going to break through over - what? Old videos repackaged from Trump's Truth Social and DHS's X account? *That's* the messaging that we're worried is going to win the day??

On average would you say most of them are the type to show up in massive displays of activism and support for their communities, or the type who whine about the world in their local FB groups until they get banned and move their grievances to the Ring app? One contingent is simply less important.

1/3 of Americans are vaguely in support of a lot of nonsensical and dangerous shit, but we will go nowhere as a society if we're constantly worried about what the worst and most useless people in our society think about the notion of forward progress.

You officially live in a “show me your papers” nation, if you were wondering how far along things are now.

And ICE took his unhoused friend.

NEWS: ICE gave a Rogers Park man a $130 ticket for not having his papers on him. They rounded him up last week and eventually let him go, but not without a fine that some critics say is un-American. Trump admin enforcing little-used law

it always blows my mind when these people act like “the left just calls everyone nazis” these days and it’s like no. we’re calling nazis nazis! there just happens to be a lot of them in and around the government these days!

Eli Valley @elivalley.bsky.social · 6d

More history from this Nazi adulated by the Trump team. These are explicit, proud Nazis who scream and cry and call every referee they can find when you quote their Nazism back to them.

Multiple tweets from Nazi Jack Posobiec in 2016 making "jokes" involving the Nazi code "1488."

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

Another incident of federal agents pointing guns at Chicago area residents.

Tweet from @laura_n_rod

Text: A federal agent points a weapon at a woman who was recording them.

Jess, a U.S. citizen and member of a neighborhood patrol team that documents and shares ICE activity across the city, was filming when the incident occurred earlier today in the Berwyn area.
